For anyone who followed the CAS definition thread last weekend, here is my Queasy (Quick and Easy) CAS card for Cindy's Cake and Tea-Party this week. Check out her blog, she made three cards for the teapot this week.
I guess I'd be queasy if I ate all that cake myself!
All that lovely clean crisp white space on the teapot translated into a CAS card, mostly because I couldn't find the spotted blue paper that I was sure I had that would have been perfect for the lid of the teapot ;-).
The base is A2 white card. The sentiment and cake from Just Celebrate were stamped separately onto white card with Versafine black, and cut out with Nestabilities. The cake was coloured with H2Os and layered up onto some Swiss-Dotted pale blue card. I used some Glossy Accents on the cake plate. Oops - I used Crackle Accents by mistake. It's a cake plate I inherited from my great-grandmother and it's got a bit crazed with age. ( I don't actually have a cake plate from my great-grandmother, but I do have some lovely glass stemware bowls that I make individual mousses in). I used a scrap of blue braid through the ribbon tag. Various edges were sponged with pink, blue and yellow.

Is it really your birthday Sabrina? Is it today? Someday I would love to come to Ireland and have you make me one of your fabulous deserts! I admire your ability to cook and make yummy things! I cook and basically the photographer and I survive! Snort!
Don't cha just hate it when you know you have something and for the life of you, you can't find it! But nonetheless, your card is precious! I love the simplicity, the stark white and the way your little candles just illuminate the cake! As a matter of fact, I burned myself on one your candles cuz the fire is so real looking! I'm looking for my burn ointment, its probably with your blue paper! If you have some, bring it to the party okay? Snort!
Thanks for coming girlfriend. I am gonna assume it is your birthday and wish you a happy, happy birthday! Make hubby bake a cake!!! Thanks for the link! Happy Birthday on Teapot Tuesday!!! Hugs

Happy Birthday Sabrina, if I was going to bake you a cake it would be a double chocolate mocha cake. With chocolate frosting. I love how your cake looks on the nesties. I agree with Kris that all the white space really draws attention to your cake. I hope today is full of blessings!!

Happy Birthday Sabrina. This is a terrific Queasy card. Cake makes me queasy sometimes. Too much sugar but I love it. I really like the nesties you used. Even the crackle accents looks great. Everything gets better with age don't you know. Well unless it is moldy cheese or something like that. Hope your day is perfect in every way.

Awww, Sabrina, I love your cake. So now can we all sing it together. Happy Birthday to you, you belong in a zoo, you look like a monkey and stink like La Pue! LOL Just teasing.
I just want to make you smile, because I said before I wasn't going to do any bad today, but it was too hard for me not to. Happy Birthday, have fun and be loud, you can do anything you want it's your DAY!

Sabrina, Happy Birthday, I brought a cake to celebrate your birthday. Please excuse the one piece missing, I just couldn't hold myself back any longer. It is yummy though if I do say so myself. I see you brought cake too. You shouldn't have baked your own cake for your birthday, that's just not right. I love how you tied in colors of the tea pot. Your blue is so pretty. Perfect CAS. Have a fun day.
